Whiskey Moon

Under the whiskey moon

I stagger slow

Shadows stretch long where the cold winds blow

My feet keep dragging

But my mind won’t let go

Oh whiskey moon

You light my way

Burning silver on a world of gray

Whiskey moon

Don’t you fade away

The train tracks hum like a mournful tune

Rusty strings on an old saloon

My heart beats hollow

A broke-down loon

Every step feels like the last

Every breath pulls from the past

Oh whiskey moon

You light my way

Burning silver on a world of gray

Whiskey moon

Don’t you fade away

I see her face in the bottle's gleam

A fleeting ghost in a drunken dream

I call her name but it splits the seam
